A process tank for stripping photoresist from semiconductor wafers. In one aspect the invention is a process tank having a process chamber, means to support at least one wafer in the processing chamber, means for supplying a process liquid to the chamber, a lid adapted to close the chamber, a liquid level sensor adapted to stop the supply of process liquid to the chamber when the process liquid fills the chamber to a predetermined level below a wafer supported in the processing chamber, an acoustical energy source adapted to supply acoustical energy to process liquid located in the chamber so as to create a mist of the process liquid in the processing chamber, and means to supply a process gas to the chamber, the process gas supply means being located above the predetermined level and adapted to supply process gas to the chamber under pressure during mist creation.
